Know before you buy
The anvil mode functions like a standard cutter for quick, clean snips on smaller stems. The ratchet mode engages a mechanical gear system that allows you to cut through thicker, tougher branches in several smaller, incremental steps, significantly reducing the hand strength required.
Yes, they feature an ergonomic, rubberized grip designed to minimize hand fatigue. The ratchet mechanism also helps by doing the heavy lifting, so you don't have to exert as much pressure during extended pruning sessions.
Absolutely. The shears are designed with an ambidextrous build, ensuring they are comfortable and functional for both left-handed and right-handed users.
The shears include an integrated safety lock that keeps the blades in the closed position. This ensures safe storage in your tool bag or shed when the shears are not in use.
Because the blades are made of high carbon steel and lack a protective coating, it is important to keep them clean and dry after each use to prevent rust. Periodically wiping them down with a light coat of oil will help maintain their sharpness and longevity.
